DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A CHOUDER.
First lay some onions to keep the pork from burning,
Because in chouder there can be no turning;
Then lay some pork in slices very thin,
Thus you in chouder always must begin.

THE PRINTER'S COMPLAINT TO HIS EMPTY PURSE.
Borrowed (in part) from a London paper. . . [6 lines]
The delinquent readers of this paper, are desired to get
the above six lines by heart; (it will be a pretty amusement
for 'em) and to consider, that a craving winter is near
approaching.
One of our English poets, (we think Cawley) bewailing his
unhappy circumstances, say,
-------- but what is worse,
The curse of curses, an insolvent purse.
